It might be well to say, in the beginning of this little book, that the 
committee in charge of its publication has labored under more than ordi- 
nary difficulties. The work was originally planned out by the Class 
of '89, and was intended to be entirely the task of that body. It 
failed of completion, however, and for several years the whole work has 
lain dormant, while committee after committee has been appointed, only to 
be discharged without the publication of the much-heard-of Record. At 
one time some promise of real work was hoped for when the committee 
for 1891 was appointed. They labored for some days on the manuscript, 
until finally the work had to be thrown over on account of the pressure of 
college work. The present committee, realizing, at last, the burden that 
this unfinished work was upon Philo, and the obligation the Society was 
under to complete the publication, have made strenuous efl!brts towards 
this end, and are glad now to be able to report the completion of the Phi- 
lomathean Record. The work has been enormous, and would have been 
impossible without the distinguished aid of several of Philo's loyal gradu- 
ate members. We are especially indebted to Dr. Frazer, whose kindly 
assistance and co-operation, in every manner possible, have done much in 
putting us in a position to complete our difficult task. Our whole aim has 
been to put in the hands of her graduate sons some reliable record of 
their Mother Society from her founding to the present date, and we wish 
for no greater reward than the hearty approval of our older Philoma- 
thean brethren.

HISTORY 

OF THE 

PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY 

OF THE 

UNIVERSITY OF FENNA., 

BY 

W. HERBERT BURK. 
1892. 



Philo's History. 



T^HAT trite saying, " History repeats itself," is perhaps nowhere so 
clearly illustrated as in a college literary society. These three or four 
years represent a generation, and consequently the repetition is more clearly 
seen, and more clearly impresses itself on the mind. The history, as writ- 
ten on the minutes of the Society, at first sight appears to be very monoto- 
nous. The same debates, to a large degree the same motions, the same 
laudable desire for constitutional reform, the same fines imposed for the 
same offences, are found in rapid succession. The history, therefore, of the 
three years of any class in Philo would, to a great degree, answer for the 
history of the seventy-five years of her existence. Such a history is writ- 
ten in the heart of every true Philomathean, and forms one of the most 
pleasant memories of his life, to which he turns from time to time with 
added enjoyment, as the years of actual life separate him more and more 
frofli those days. To him no history written save by his own hand would 
seem to be true, and any attempt to write would be to tear away with ruth- 
less hands those adornments which truth has lent to memory's picture. 
Writing, therefore, for the sons of dear old Philo, we need only call atten- 
tion to those points in her history which may be entirely new, or perhaps 
long since forgotten. 

Of the early history of Philo very little is known. The earliest min- 
utes have been lost or destroyed, and even the histories which were written, 
while the minutes Avere still in existence, have shared a similar fate. There 
had been many attempts to form a literary society before Philo was founded, 
but these societies had but an ephemeral existence, rarely surviving the 
class which organized them. One of them was so noted for its noisy ses- 
sions and adjournments, that when the Provost was asked to suggest a 

13 



name for it, he remarked that Polyphloisboean would be appropriate. His- 
tory fails to tell us whether it was adopted or not. At any rate the society 
soon disappeared altogether. 

After several informal meetings and conferences, the project of forming 
a literary society was submitted to the Provost. It received his most 
hearty approval, and the organization and constitution were completed 
under the title of THE PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY OF THE 
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. There is posted in front of the 
present Recorder's Book, a sheet of paper, brown with age and soiled with 
handling, upon which is written the following : " We, the subscribers, of 
the University of Pennsylvania, Seniors, thinking it would promote our 
improvement in learning, and likewise more fully establish the reputation 
of the University, did, on the second day of October, Anno Domini 
one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, form ourselves into an associa- 
tion, under the name of the Philomathean Society. And we do soberly 
declare that we will support the Constitution of the said society with all 
our power, and that we will not aid in anything detrimental to the Society :

Phi Jo has always honored these men, and for many years there has 
been a tablet over the Moderator's Chair bearing their names, and when 
the University was moved to West Philadelphia, and the present College 

14 



Hall erected, the Society had a Memorial Stained Glass Window placed 
in the Chapel, bearing their names. The first rooms of the Society were 
in what was long known as the " President's House," to which reference is 
made in another place in this volume. Says Dr. Cruse : " In the south- 
east corner of this edifice, on the third floor, overlooking a large extent of 
grounds, there was a fine spacious room some twenty feet square, which, 
together with two smaller rooms adjoining, was assigned as Philomathean 
Hall. When the President's House was taken down, and the new build- 
ing erected in its place, Philo was given two adjacent rooms in the building 
occupied by the College Department. The meetings were first held on 
Friday evenings, but in 1820, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution, 
' that the doors of the University shall not be open after sunset,' so that 
the hour was changed to half past four. A committee was appointed to 
ask permission to hold their meetings ' after candle-light.' This permission 
was granted, and the meetings were then held at half past six. In 1845, 
an effort was made to have illuminating gas introduced, which was done in 
the following year, when the ' astral lamps and chandeliers ' were sold. 
In this room many a man learned his first lessons in housekeeping, which 
were, doubtless, of great use to him in his after life. We find committees 
appointed and money appropriated to purchase such things as chairs and 
dust brushes, curtains and lamp shades, brooms and book cases. At times 
Major Dick had to be interviewed for failing to fill the lamps or to scrub 
the floors. Dick, by the way, seems to have been almost incorrigible, and 
the Society was almost continually threatening to cut down his salary, or 
discharge him unless he would do as they said. He was assisted in those 
days by a young colored boy, who was always a source of worriment and 
anxiety to the Society. When Dick first ran across him, we do not know, 
but for a long time he was known simply as " Dick's Boy," but later he 
was dubbed " Pomp." Since those days Pomp has been the sworn enemy 
of Philo and its faithful supporters. It is interesting to note how he has 
won the respect and admiration of the members of Philo, as the years 
passed away. He appears after a while in the Minutes as "Alfred," then 
as " Alfred Wilson," and finally as " Mr. Alfred Wilson ; " but the name 
by which he will always be remembered is " Pomp." The Society at one 

15 



time had him nominated for membership, but the Moderator vetoed the 
election. In the early days of Philo, men lived in a far simpler way than 
they do now. The old Philo Hall was heated by a stove and lighted by 
astral lamps. Occasionally an appropriation was made of two or three 
dollars to have the room decorated with a new coat of whitewash. The 
Society was by no means exempt from pecuniary troubles. In the trou- 
blous times of 1837, a special meeting was called on Saturday morning, to 
consider the financial condition of the Society, and the following resolution 
was passed : " All members shall pay their debts to this Society in specie, 
or in notes of specie-paying banks, or notes of the city corporation." On the 
whole, however, Philo has been rather a prosperous society in regard to 
money affairs, and it spent its money freely on its library, lecture courses 
and orations. The library has always received considerable attention, and 
standard works in all departments of knowledge have been added to it as 
the funds of the Society permitted. It is interesting in the pages of the 
Minutes, and to note how this or that book was to be purchased, " as soon 
as it came out." For instance, my eye falls on a motion to buy a " com- 
plete edition of Pickwick Papers as soon as published." Philo not only 
purchased books but also reviewed them. Time and again some author 
would send the Society a volume of his works, in order that they might 
review it. In such cases the Moderator appointed a committee to review 
the book, and the report of this committee would be generally accepted 
and forwarded to the author. Philo's own publications have been almost 
entirely the catalogue of her members and library, the Biennial and other 
orations delivered before her, and the University Magazine. 

The greatest piece of work which she ever did was to publish the book 
on the Rosetta Stone, of which an account will be found elsewhere in this 
volume. Among her own members she fostered the literary spirit, not only in 
the regular weekly exercises, but also by offering yearly prizes for the best 
orations, essays and debates. A magazine was also carried on, which was 
read at every meeting. Editors were statedly appointed, and a regular 
magazine was written containing essays, stories, poems and items of interest. 
From time to time, propositions were made for the publication of a maga- 
zine, such as that published by the Zelosophic Society. There may have 

i6 



been a magazine published about 1817, as there is a record of fifty dollars 
being raised to help along the publication of the magazine. No copy is 
extant, nor is there any further mention made of it until 1875. Then it 
was decided to publish a monthly magazine in the interest of Philo and 
the University at large. It was an undertaking of no small magnitude, 
but the magazine is witness to the able way in which the self-imposed task 
was performed. At the beginning of every month, men were appointed 
by the Moderator to contribute to the magazine. The work was continued 
for several years before it was given up, and the Pennsylvanian started in 
its place, as a general college paper. 

One of the old institutions of Philo has long since been done away. 
It was what is styled in the minutes as " Papers in the Box." A box was 
placed in the library room, into which any member might drop an essay, 
criticism or humorous sketch, and at the following meeting the box was 
opened and the papers read. Perhaps the best way to form some idea of 
the character of these anonymous papers wiU be by a list of the names 
of a few of them : " Gum Sneezer," " Flinkeria," " Philo Eeview," " The 
Adventurer," " The Obsena," " Censor and Monitor," " The Lash," " Me- 
nagerie," " Evening Sentinel," " The Argus," " Caricaturist," " Planet " 
(1840), "Gad-Fly," " Yonker Sketches No. 1," "Thunderjug." 

They appear to have often become personal in their references, and 
the minutes of several meetings end abruptly. After stating that a certain 
paper was read, the Secretary simply adds : "Meeting adjourned in great 
disorder." At other times the paper was condemned by the Society, and 
was cremated then and there in the stove. 

In 1829, a Zelosophic Society was founded and given rooms near 
those of Philo. From the very first, a strong rivalry existed between the 
two societies, and every effort was made to excel the other in students, in 
scholarship, and in oratory. Debates were often held in which each society 
put forth its champions. This rivalry had an excellent effect not only on 
the members of the societies, but also on the college in general. The con- 
tests, however, were not always confined to words, but often took a more 
warlike form, and many a man has come out of the struggles bearing scars 
which to-day remind him of his College days. Raids were made on each 

(2) 17 



other's rooms, and the locksmith and carpenter were always in demand. 
Many of the Zelo members were Southern men, and consequently all dis- 
cussion of the slavery question was forbidden in that Society. The story 
is told of two hot-headed lads, who determined that that question should 
be discussed. They came fully prepared for the discussion, which was pre- 
faced by one of the brothers drawing from his pocket a pistol and laying it 
on the rostrum before him, with the remark that " the subject of slavery 
will be discussed this evening." It is needless to say that the subject was 
fully discussed. 

The struggle between the two societies was carried on until the re- 
moval to West Philadelphia, when the Zelosophic Society weakened, and 
finally ceased to exist. While in a weak condition, Philo made a proposi- 
tion for the assimilation of Zelo, but this was never effected. It is to be 
lamented that the society did disappear, for the loss of the rivalry has been 
felt in these later years of Philo's life. 

The fiftieth Anniversary of Philo was fittingly celebrated in the hall 
^f the University, on the sixth of October, 1863. The exercises consisted 
-of addresses of welcome by the Moderator, an address by Dr. Hays, who 
presided, a speech by Dr. Cruse, an oration by Dr. Kinston, an address by 
Dr. Hall, and the benediction by the Provost. The Faculty, the Board of 
Trustees, and many honorary members were present. It is entered upon 
the minutes that Henry Clay was also present on this occasion, and was 
presented with a badge of the Society ; but as Henry Clay died in 1852, 
it seems probable that a slip of the pen was made by the Secretary. 
What the badges of the Society have been is hard to determine. The 
first badge seems to have been of white silk, on which was printed the 
design used as the seal on the Diplomas. In 1849, a plain gold star was 
adopted, but the silk badge was still used, as we find the Committee of 
Arrangements instructed from time to time to purchase silver fringe 
for them. In 1851, another ten years after, the star was adopted to change 
the badge, and a new one was adopted. This led to a protest by the Senior 
members, which caused the society to rescind its former motion, and the 
badge was left unchanged. The following addition was made in the Con- 
stitution in consequence of this friction between the Junior and Senior 

is 



members : " It shall require the unanimous vote of all the Junior mem- 
bers to change the badge of the Society." Later in the year a committee 
was appointed to effect a compromise on the question of the badge. There 
is no record that any such compromise ever took place, but in the present 
badge, the star appears, so it is probable that it is the result of this com- 
promise. The debates in Philo are not without interest. She has always 
been in close contact with the world outside the college walls, and is often 
a safe guide as to the spirit of the times. Space does not allow the quoting 
of more than two of the debate subjects : "Is it probable that the Abo- 
lition of slavery would be attended by the dissolution of the Union ? " 
was decided (1840) in the affirmative. The question : " Can this Uni- 
niversity ever rise to the same degree of eminence as Harvard or Yale ? " 
was decided (1850) in the negative by a large majority. 

Like all other institutions, the Society has had its days of pros- 
perity and its days of adversity, as the interest of the students deepened 
or lessened. There have always been a faithful few, however, to carry 
on the work ; and their devoted spirits fanned the flickering flame into 
a glorious Hght. It is told that often during the year 1859, only two 
members attended the meetings. Both were smokers, but smoking was 
forbidden and punished by a fine. Even at such a time the laws of 
the Society were obeyed, but in the following way : As the Censor, one 
had a right to fine in the hall ; as the librarian, the other had a right to 
fine in the library. So taking their pipes, they would place their chairs 
near the door, and thus each sitting in his own domain they would pass 
the evening in reading and conversation. 

The interest in Philo's work has deepened greatly in the last few years, 
and her roll has contained the names of the best men in College. The 
students have recognized what a valuable auxiliary to the regular College 
work is the training which the exercises give, and have not been slow to 
avail themselves of such opportunities. The social side of the years in 
Philo has been the means of forming many a friendship whose bonds have 
only been severed by death. 

Philo has finished seventy-five years of her active life, and in those 
years she has sent forth many a true and loyal son, who in the pulpit or at 

19 



the bar, by the sick bed or in Legislative hall, in the army or in the Com- 
monwealth, has won a name for himseK by the exercise of the qualities of 
thought, energy and self-content which he learned in her halls. 

Seventy-five years of noble work call for the congratulations of her 
sons, and the earnest wish that her progress may always be

ACCOUNT 



Seventy-fifth Anniversary Celebration 



OF THE FOUNDING OF THE 



PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY, 

Wednesday, December 5, and Thursday, December 6, 



The 75'th Anniversary Celebration. 



TN that ceaseless war of ideas and words through stress of which has 
emerged our present classical college course, amid all the flotsam and 
jetsam which has accompanied the breaking up of the old structure and 
the re-organization of our collegiate curriculum according to modern peda- 
gogical notions, no one has as yet been found who, in this age of universal 
interrogation, has questioned the value of the college literary fraternity. 
The classics, mathematics, the sciences, modern languages have each in 
turn been forced to endure the search-light of carping criticism and refute 
as best they might the attacks of those who sought to displace them by 
other subjects more favored for a bearing upon general culture or mental 
discipline. But the training derived from a conscientious and consistent 
attendance upon the meetings of a literary society during the period of a 
college course has been by common consent acknowledged superior to cavil. 
Although work of this kind is done after college duties are over, although 
in a vast majority of cases the most brilliant feats of oratory within the 
society hall secure no official recognition from the Faculty in the way of 
credit for the literary work performed, yet the substantial character of the 
benefits derived by the speaker, the stimulating and vivifying eflfect of these 
forensic battles upon the minds of the students, have given the literary so- 
ciety a fame far-reaching and enduring throughout the land. Who does 
not know of the Oxford Union ; that celebrated school from which men 
leap full-panoplied into English political life ? Who does not know of the 
Harvard Union, modelled upon her English predecessor ? And who that 
ever lived in Philadelphia since the opening of the century, and Avas inter- 
ested in the remotest degree in our Alma Mater, does not know of Philo ? 
We who to-day are glad to acknowledge our debt to her fostering care,

who owe to her more than we can ever pay for the literary training she has 
given us, are apt to forget that we are only the last in the splendid succes- 
sion of men who have sojourned beneath her roof, and who halted to-day 
in their busy lives, cast back their thoughts thirty, forty or fifty years and 
say, " Philo. Yes, God bless her. How is old Philo getting on ? " "VVe 
did not know the precious legacy we held ; we, who with steps that some- 
times faltered, and with deeds that often came far short of our ideals, strove 
to carry on the work entrusted to us. But when the replies began to come 
to our preliminary circular, when the letters were read in the committee, 
pledging cordial support and co-operation, to the work of the undergradu- 
ates, many of them from men long since immersed in the business world, 
then we took fresh courage and said, " If that is Avhat Philo has been to 
them, we will show them when they come to us in December what it is to 
us." This was the inspiration under which we Avorked ; this was the mo- 
tive force of the Philo 75th Anniversary Celebration which it is the pur- 
pose of these pages modestly to set forth. 

The movement to mark in a befitting and dignified manner the 75th 
birthday of our Society began to take shape in the spring of 1888. Philo 
was strong in numbers and in infiuence. To Philo men went all the col- 
lege literary prizes, as a matter of course. The prestige of editing the 
University Magazine still hung over us. The Commencement appoint- 
ments and class oratorical assignments were regarded by Philo men very 
much as an English Lord formerly regarded a pocket borough. Nor were 
these undeserved compliments, nor empty boastings. Philo had proved 
her worthiness by a long succession of triumphs in the field. Therefore, 
even before the class of '88 graduated, though it could take no part in the 
proceedings of the anniversary, the Society selected its committee to whom 
it entrusted the care of the celebration. This committee, carefully chosen 
and unanimously elected, consisted of Samuel M. Lindsay '89, Clement IST. 
C. Brown '89, Edward W. Mumford '89, J. Clayton Mitchell '89, William 
Wilson Barr, Jr. '90, W. Herbert Burk '90, and Henry I. Brown '91. 
To each member of this committee was assigned certain work to be per- 
formed during the summer in the way of getting together material for this 
record. Before we met again in the fall, death had claimed one of our 

24 



number, and Philo had lost one of the bravest, truest, most manly men who 
ever entered her hall. Permit me here to place this small tribute to the 
memory of my dear friend, William Wilson Barr, Jr. Hugh Walker 
Ogden, '90, was elected to the vacancy, and James Mad. L. Eckard, '91, 
was elected to the place of H. I. Brown, who had left college. With these 
two changes the committee stood as first constituted until the celebration 
was over. 

It is needless to dwell in detail upon the work of those fall months. 
There was a vast amount of administration connected with an event so im- 
portant as we were determined Philo's celebration should be, and corre- 
spondence, personal interviews, committee meetings, etc., kept us busy from 
week to week. It was decided to give to our Alumni, who desired to do so, 
an opportunity to aid us in the work financially, as well as morally, and 
nothing could bear stronger testimony to the solid material value they 
placed upon Philo's services than the way in which they responded to our 
appeal. Two circulars were sent out during the fall, and a large number 
of the Alumni were visited personally to explain to them what we were 
doing, and to interest them in the work. Everywhere we were greeted 
with ready responses and cordial co-operation, assurances of peculiar inter- 
est and pledges of future support. In order to give the celebration as 
universal a scope as possible, an Auxiliary Committee of the Alumni was 
formed, which consisted of George Tucker Bispham '58, William Pepper 
'62, Austin A. Phelps, '40, Henry Morton '57, Christopher Magee '52, 
Charles W. Freedley '75, and William Howard Falkner '83. This com- 
mittee co-operated actively with the undergraduate committee, and was of 
very material assistance in the work. As the time drew near for the con- 
summation of our task, it was decided that the celebration should be 
extended over two evenings. This was the year for the Biennial oration, 
and it was deemed best to incorporate that with the other proceedings. 
Replies were received from the gentlemen who had been asked to address 
the audience on the first evening, and also an acceptance from Hampton 
L. Carson, Esq., who had been invited to be the orator of the occasion. 
In anticipation of the visit of many of our old Alumni, the contract 
was let to paint the rooms and generally renovate the society's quarters. 

25 



We need not say with what feelings of anxious delight and tremu- 
lous enthusiasm we saw that important day arrive, the fifth of Dec, 1888. 
We of the committee could many a tale unfold of yeoman labor doughtily 
achieved that day. Excused from recitations, we wrestled with refractory 
platforms and chapel benches harder than ever did Greek or Roman with 
his opponents, and evening found us tired but triumphant, with the chapel 
banked with ferns and flowers, the seats in order for our distinguished 
guests, the orchestra and glee club in their places, and every one in a 
glow of enthusiasm for what was to come. No one need ask if our 
first night was a success. The fledgling freshman who, awe-struck, an- 
nounced at 7.20, "Why, boys, there is some one there already," was 
soon succeeded by others who informed the august society, now robing 
in the hall above, that the chapel was packed, and only a narrow aisle 
left clear, up which we were to pass to the platform. Down we went, 
fifty of us in line, headed by the Moderator and Judge Hare, who had 
kindly consented to preside that evening. To the inspiring strains of a 
march, played by the University Orchestra, we filed in to find ourselves 
upon the platform facing one of the largest audiences the chapel ever 
held. Many old Philomatheans were there in the audience, many old 
friends and familiar faces, many sons of Philomatheans, and daughters, 
too, all expectant, a very goodly company. The programme of the ex- 
ercises was as follows :

Informal Reception by the Society. 

After the entrance of the Society, the opening address was delivered 
by C. N. C. Brown, the Moderator, who gave a short sketch of the Society 
and spoke of its work in supplementing the college curriculum. He 
pointed to Philo's pre-eminence among similar organizations by reason of her 
venerable age, and congratulated the audience upon being present to assist 
in the celebration. He mentioned a few of the names prominent in the 
annals of the nations who had received preliminary training in Philo Hall 
and dwelt upon the value of such preparatory work to one who looked 
forward to a public career. In closing, Mr. Brown, in a few graceful and 
happy sentences, introduced Judge Hare as the President of the evening. 
As the honored Judge stepped forward to accept the place, a simultaneous 
burst of applause came from all parts of the chapel, and his first remarks 
were completely drowned in this torrent of enthusiasm. After a moment's 
hesitation, Judge Hare went on, and in a very feeling manner spoke of the 
high estimation he placed upon such a society as Philo. He referred to it 
as a person, for whom he entertained a strong affection, and closed by 
wishing old Philo many years of lusty gro^vth and vigor. Mr. Bispham, of 
the Auxiliary Committee, then prefaced his remarks by an apology for not 
having prepared a written address, pleading, as an excuse, the pressure of his 
professional duties. He spoke of Philo as he had known her, and, assum- 
ing somewhat a warning tone, told present Philomatheans what they had 
the power to make of themselves and the Society. Mr. Bispham's remarks 
were earnest and pointed, and the applause showed that his words had had 
their effect. Mr. "Welsh then entertained the audience for a few moments 
with some striking parallels and contrasts between the Dakota Indians, 
whom he had just left, and the society he then faced. Evidently, college 
was not all work when Mr. Welsh was a student, and his stories of Philo 
life and deeds, twenty years ago, were well received. Professor Morton 
was known to us all. We had all learned to regard the book on the Ro- 
setta stone, published by a committee of which he was a member, with 

27 



jealous care as one of our priceless treasures, a sort of earnest of what 
Philo could do wlien she tried. He said a few words of the work of that 
committee, and spoke pleasantly of the Philo spirit which had animated 
him to it. Then falling also into a vein of reminiscences, he spoke of his 
college-days, and read some extracts from a valedictory which he had de- 
livered while at college. The contrast between the dignified, stately man, 
standing on the platform, and the sophomoric eloquence of the production 
read, created no little merriment. Mr. Junkin came last upon the list, but 
his address was the wittiest of the evening. He said that, as Professor 
Morton had given the audience a valedictory, he would tell them of a 
salutatory which he once gave, and described how, on his graduation, being 
pressed for time, he had simply quoted " De Senectute," verbatim, — a thing 
which, he said, with the superior Latinity of modern Philomatheans we 
would, of course, not be able to do without detection. His address con- 
tained much sound and practical advice, and was heartily applauded. 

The Provost had expected to be present, and had promised to deliver 
an address, but, unfortunately, a heavy cold prevented him from fulfilling 
the engagement. The letter conveying his regrets was read from the plat- 
form by Judge Hare. Dr. Pepper said in substance : 

" It is with no ordinary regret that I find myself unable to be present 
this evening at the ceremonies of the seventy-fifth anniversary of our ven- 
erated Philomathean Society. Years have brought to her dignity and 
reputation, but they have not lessened her vigor and energy. Far from 
it ; indeed, at no former period has her prosperity been so great, her influ- 
ence so conspicuous, or the zeal and devotion of her members, past and 
present, so earnest and efiicient. This occasion is not only an anniversary 
of honest work and good life through years in the past ; it is also, even in 
a large measure, a sevice of congratulation upon a well-assured hope of a 
brilliant future, of enlarging fame and usefulness through all the grand 
career of our dear Alma Mater. 

The proceedings of the evening were concluded by an informal recep- 
tion by the members of the Society. 

Many availed themselves of the invitation extended to call upon 
Philo in her own quarters, and learned from actual experience the ulterior 

28 



significance of that portion of her motto which refers to the stars. The 
old members were most cordial in their appreciative comments upon the 
decorations of the Philo Hall, and lived over again for the moment their 
former triumphs on the Philo rostrum. The whole of the main building 
was thrown open for inspection, and most enthusiastic interest was mani- 
fested everywhere in the Society and its work. 

The exercises of the second evening were avowedly of a different char- 
acter. The plan for the first night had been to recall Philo memories and 
give opportunity for Philo spirit by a number of short, incisive addresses. 
Thursday evening was the occasion of the Biennial Oration, and the audi- 
ence, while possibly somewhat smaller than that of the preceding evening, 
was one rarely appreciative of the intellectual feast spread before them. 
The programme was as follows : 

March University Orchestra. 

Entrance of the Society. 

Introductory Address The Moderator. 

BiENNiAi< Oration Hampton L,. Carson, Esq., '71. 

Subject: "American Citizenship." 

Music University Orchestra. 

Songs by the Glee Club. 

March Orchestra. 

Exit of the Society. 

Mr. Carson's oration was probably the finest ever delivered before the 
Society. His reputation, as a lawyer, an author, and an orator, was well 
known. Suffice it to say, that the speaker's reputation was fully sustained 
by his] words that evening, and we are happy in the ability to ofier his 
speech in print, in another part of this record, through the courtesy of 
Mr. Carson. 

The orator of the evening speaks in a pleasing and captivating man- 
ner. He has a quiet dignity and easy grace that won his audience from 
the first sentence. Mr. Carson's studies have been largely in the constitu- 
tional history of our country, and the brilliant and comprehensive way in 
which he handled his subject, "American Citizenship," gave proof that his 
knowledge of fact was equal to his power of exposition. 

29 



After the conclusion of the exercises, the PhilomatheanSj accompanied 
by the Orchestra, the Glee Club, and many of the Professors and Alumni 
of the University, adjourned to the Law Room, where a collation was 
served by the Society. After this had received due consideration, Mr. J. 
Douglass Brown, Jr., of the Class of '79, was introduced by the Moderator 
as the toast-master of the evening. He called upon different members of 
the Faculty and several graduates for speeches. 

Professor McElroy responded for himself and his colleagues, and told 
how the Philo men stood in his class-room. Professor Fullerton told us 
that the Alumni Hall would soon be a tangible reality. Rev. Jesse Y. 
Burk spoke for " The Clerical Philomatheans ;" Henry T. Dechert, on 
" Legal Philomatheans ;" D. W. Amram, '87, on " The Needs of Philo ;" 
E. G. McCoUin, on " The University Magazine," and Dr. George Dana 
Boardman, of the Board of Trustees, on " The Society." Other impromptu 
speeches were made, which, with songs and stories, made the time pass all 
too quickly. We separated reluctantly at last, feeling that Philo was well 
worthy of our love and veneration, and prophesying long life in the future 
for any society that could muster such a body of enthusiastic alumni. 
Apart from any question of the pleasure or disappointment of the occasion, 
without regard to the newly-furnished rooms, or any material benefit, the 
seventy-fifth anniversary was a tremendous stimulus to Philo in the college 
itself It brought us into contact with the older men, it taught us what 
they thought and felt about the organization, it set us hunting Philo's his- 
tory for ourselves in the old records and minute-books, and, best of all, it 
aroused unlimited confidence and love for the old Society, to see how potent 
her name yet was to evoke enthusiasm from those many years graduated 
from her shelterino- roof.

BIENNIAL ORATION 



DELIVERED AT THE 



Seventy-fifth Anniversary Celebration 



PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY, 



HAMPTON L. CARSON. 



31 



American Citizenship. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

You have been summoned by the invitation of the Philomathean Society 
to unite in the joyous celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary, and, as a 
part of the exercises appropriate to the occasion, the biennial oration has 
been included. If I yielded to the suggestions of time and place, I would 
attempt to trace the history of the Society from its estabhshment, in Octo- 
ber, 1813, to the present, with brief sketches of the founders and those men 
who became noted, accompanied by a few reflections upon the influence 
and use of literary societies in the mental training of youth ; but I am 
advised that this work has been committed to the very efiicieut hands of 
the Anniversary Committee, the result of whose labors will be published. 
I am also reminded that this ground was very thoroughly trodden by the 
distinguished gentlemen who addressed you last evening, and entertained 
as well as instructed you by their personal reminiscences. 

Debarred, then, from entering upon a topic so appropriate, I am 
thrown back upon a subject which has evolved itself, in a measure, from my 
own recollections of Philomathean days. I recall with pleasure the many 
happy hours of discussion and debate upon literary, philosophic, pohtical, 
and economic questions ; hours, sacred to the Muses, which I can remem- 
ber with no other regret than that they can return no more-; hours, such 
as those of which the poet, Cowley, wrote : 

"We spent them, not in toys, or lust, or wine ; 
But search of deep philosophy, 
Wit, eloquence, and poesy ; 
Arts which I loved, for they, my friend, were thine. ' ' 

The Philomathean Society is, in truth, a mimic commonwealth ; its 
government is a pure democracy, where each member enjoys, with his fel- 

3 33 



lows, an equal voice and vote. Its exercises, besides imparting an intimate 
acquaintance with literature and science, and developing the art of extem- 
poraneous speech, tend strongly to turn the attention to politics in its noblest 
sense ; and not the least of the benefits they confer are the familiarity with 
the rules of parhamentary procedure and a consideration of the duties of 
citizenship. The four years spent within the walls of Philo — as her chil- 
dren affectionately call her — are not without abundant fruit in later years, 
and many of her sons, who have won renown at the bar, in legislative as- 
semblies, in the lecture-rooms of hospitals, or in the chambers of trade, owe 
more than they can fairly estimate to the stimulating atmosphere, breathed 
early in life, that pervades her halls. Trained as Americans are to the 
discussion of public questions, in which they excel all other peoples of the 
earth, the source and secret of their power are to be found in their interest 
in debating societies. In the same manner, and in a similar society, 
Macaulay, John Stuart Mill, Charles Austin and John Arthur Roebuck 
jitted themselves for the discharge of the duties of their arduous careers. 

My theme, to-night, is " American Citizenship," — a subject, which, as 
patriots, we should be ever ready to consider, but which, as busy men and 
women, oppressed with the cares of life, we are too apt to neglect. No 
theme can be more inspiring, and yet I know not where to begin, or how 
to proceed. We live in so happy an age, we possess such freedom of action, 
we feel so few restraints upon our will, that we are not conscious of the 
blessings we enjoy. Our liberties are like the air we breathe, or the water 
we drink, — unthought of, but life-sustaining. 

It is but a few years ago, if we measure time past by centuries, when 
the masses possessed no pohtical rights ; when men dared not express their 
real thoughts; save under the terror of an impending sword ; when no one 
could safely dissent from the worship of the Established Church, or ques- 
tion the authority of his spiritual adviser. To-day, " we have founded a 
republic on the unlimited suffrage of the millions ; we have actually worked 
out the problem, that man, as God created him, may be trusted with self- 
government ; we have shown the world, that a church without a bishop, 
and a state without a king, is an actual, real, and everyday possibility ;" 
and we are educating mankind to a realization of the value of that fact. 

34 



Take up the first book that comes to hand, an ordinary English dic- 
tionary, and see how many words have become obsolete, or have but an his- 
torical meaning : churl, thrall, vassal, serf, slave, censor of the press, stake, 
rack, thumb-screw, inquisition, — fossil history, all of them, bits of perished 
facts, and vanished states of society. Put them together, and what a pic- 
ture do they present ! How the imagination repaints those dreadful doings 
of blood, and cruelty, and wrong ! The eye dwells upon the headsman and 
the block. The air is still pierced with the shriek of some expiring vic- 
tim, whose soul is wafted heavenward, amid the brutal jeers of those who 
burned his body because they could not enslave his mind. That shriek, 
echoing through the ages, like a whisper among the avalanches, has set the 
great human mass in motion, and is followed by the crash of buried insti- 
tutions, and the thunder of falling thrones. Look up, beyond the clouds 
of smoke which roll from the altars of human sacrifice, and see the enfran- 
chised spirit, over which man has no power, enthroned and radiant, for the 
guidance and encouragement of all coming time. Go down into the bowels 
of the earth, into the dungeons beneath the water, and stand beneath that 
narrow hole through which, drop by drop, the river ate its way into the 
brain, which would not recant the faith which made the heart so brave. 
Ascend the scaffold with Russell or Sidney, or gaze on the mutilated limbs 
of Cornish at Temple Bar. Remember the mouths of the Lion at Venice, 
or recall the horrors of the Bastile, and tell me where is the man, now 
living so imbruted and debased, who will not acknowledge his debt of 
gratitude to God for the blessings of civil and religious liberty, which we 
now enjoy! 

The liberty which we worship is liberty according to law, where, un- 
der the protection of a government whose foundations have been broadly 
and wisely laid, each man can worship God according to the untrammelled 
dictates of his own conscience, and enjoy life, liberty, the use of property, 
and the pursuits of happiness in his own manner, without hindrance from 
anybody, so long as he does not infringe his neighbor's equal rights. 

Surely, there can be no higher patriotic duty for any of us to perform 
than to study with reverence the work of the fathers of our republic. It is 
true that there are other subjects more stirring in incident, or more capti- 

35 



vating to the fancy, but none more rich in results which have blessed and 
benefited mankind. All that preceded the building of our Constitution 
would have been lost or squandered, and all that has followed it would 
have been materially different in character, had not the fruits of our Revo- 
lutionary struggles been preserved for all time in the Constitution of the 
United States. It was upon this great structure that the political archi- 
tects of the day lavished their intellectual wealth, and hence to the philo- 
sophic student of our institutions, both here and elsewhere, there can be no 
period more curious, or which will better repay his investigations. It is 
the contribution of America to the science of politics. It is her attempt 
to solve that vexed problem, which, from times long before the days of 
Plato, has agitated man. 

It is not the blind partiality of national prejudice to speak of our 
heroes in terms of admiration, nor is it mere enthusiasm to speak 
of their work in words of praise. The men of our Revolution will 
compare favorably with those of any race or age whom history has 
recognized as great. Their characters were noble, their temper was tried 
by the severest tests, and their experience covered every field of human 
activity. As soldiers, they were distinguished ; no generals ever surpassed 
Washington and Greene in sagacity or in the power of wresting victory 
from defeat. As orators, they were illustrious ; few men ever equalled the 
fire of Henry, or the classic elegance of Lee. As writers, they were pre- 
eminent ; in nineteen hundred years but one Thomas Jefierson has arisen 
to pen such a document as the Declaration of Independence. Not Swift 
and Addison produced such profound results as pamphleteers as Paine 
and Franklin. As statesmen, they rank among the foremost of the world : 
Hamilton, and Madison, and Jay, in the power of constructive intellect, 
will yield to none in either ancient or modern Europe. 

The Constitution of the United States was the masterpiece of master 
minds. It is, fitly speaking, their crown and glory. It contains the best 
thoughts of statesmen trained in the best schools. It embodies the politi- 
cal experience of the English race, and ranks with Magna Charta and the 
Bill of Rights as a bulwark of human freedom. 

I am going to ask you, therefore, to consider with me the influences 

36 



which contributed to the production of the political rights which we enjoy 
to-day. 

American citizenship is a product, a growth, a creation. The state- 
ment may seem inconsistent or extravagant, and yet, properly considered, 
it is true. Those peculiar political and individual conditions, which existed 
in the colonies prior to the outbreak of the Revolution, were the products 
of time past and alien influences. The conditions, which existed from 
1774 to 1787, were continuous growths upon American soil ; while the 
immediate work of 1787, — the Constitution of the United States, — was a 
creation. Mr. Gladstone recognized this distinction, when he said : " As 
the British Constitution is the most subtile organism which has proceeded 
from progressive history, so the American Constitution is the most Avonder- 
ful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.' ' 

In analyzing the complex result, which is embodied in the phenomena 
of to-day, we discover three classes of forces steadily in operation, — the 
intellectual, the ethnological, and the physical. In tracing the eflfects of 
the first of these, we perceive in the writings and speeches of the fathers 
of the Republic a familiarity with the works of the great writers upon 
government — whether Greek, Roman, French, or English — and a wealth 
of classic learning now sadly out of use among the statesmen of the 
present time. 

The most illustrious of the ancient writers upon government was, un- 
doubtedly, Aristotle, who garnered in his capacious mind all the learning 
of his day. It is true that Socrates had taught, as the basis of property, 
that " the product of a man's labor and the issues of his activity were 
his : that no one could have a right or claim consistent with the truth of 
things to appropriate the fruith of that growth, whereof the root and the 
stem, and the living branches, and the vital juices are a necessary part ;" 
and Plato, in his lofty dreams, had constructed an ideal republic, giving a 
finished picture of justice, displaying some masterly sketches of polity and 
philosophy, in which education was represented as the foundation of gov- 
ernment, and the fine arts as the handmaids of virtue, but it was left to 
Aristotle to define and arrange the principles of the science. In the third 
book of " The Politics," he compares a commonwealth to a partnership, 

37 



and declares a citizen to be one who is a partner in the legislative and 
judicial power (^ueroxog i^pideug ii,al apxm) Men must be partners in some 
things, or in all. The question naturally arises, how far does this commu- 
nity of interests extend ? Has the partnership its defined limits, or ought 
all things, — wives, children, lands, and goods, — to be held in common, as 
maintained by Plato ? Shrinking from a Communism so rank, he endeav- 
ors to ascertain the quantity, as well as quality, of the various interests of 
the partners, — in mercantile phrase, to appraise their shares, — and, in the 
efibrt to unravel intricate proportions so as to harmonize the jarring ele- 
ments of birth, wealth, talents, and industry, applies a species of moral 
geometry totally at variance with our modern axioms of political equality. 
" Civil society," he says, " is not a mass, but a system which, like every 
system, implies a distribution of parts, with many moral as well as physical 
difierences, relative and reciprocal, the powers and perfections of one part 
supplying the incapacities and defects of another. To form a common- 
wealth from elements of equal value, or of equal dignity, is an attempt 
not less absurd than that of composing a piece of music from one and the 
same note." 

I cannot pause to state the method by which the great, Greek phi- 
losopher determined the extent of the share of political power to be enjoyed 
by each citizen, but it is sufficient to observe that it is based upon distribu- 
tions into classes and sects, totally inconsistent with our doctrines of uni- 
versal suffrage and the rights of majorities. In the early governments, 
kings and oligarchs were amenable to the gods alone ; restraints, limita- 
tions upon power, checks to arbitrary authority, were unknown; council 
and assemblies sometimes existed, but they were " shadows, not substantial- 
things," and obedience was the measure of their duty. As Wachsmuth 
has observed, " Citizenship, in the heroic age, only existed so far as the 
condition of aliens or domestic slaves was its negative. The State and 
its safety were the objects of supreme importance." To this end the indi- 
vidual was sacrificed. The grand idea, that government is established to 
protect the individual — no matter what his rank or condition — in the en- 
joyment of certain inherent and inalienable rights, had no place in the 
political philosophy of the ancients. 

38 



Cicero adopted the thought, almost the language, of Aristotle, when 
he said, " Concord in States is like harmony in music. The one results 
from the differences and relations of distinct and most dissimilar sounds ; 
the other, from the distribution of rank among the citizens, the high, the 
low, and the middle order which is interposed between them." Although 
he loftily exclaimed, " Cives liberi estis propter leges vestras," and, again, 
" Liberty is the power of doing that which is not forbidden by law," yet 
the system which he extolled was poisoned by the doctrine, that whatever 
was pleasing to the prince had the authority of law. The indignant pro- 
test against the scourge of Verres, " I am a Roman citizen," embodied not 
so much a declaration of the sanctity of the person as an assertion of special 
privileges conferred upon a favored class. Although the Roman eagles 
carried the Roman law over a large portion of the earth, yet it was a law 
based upon class-distinctions, upon divisions between patricians and ple- 
beians, which recognized slavery, which was stained by atrocious cruelties 
to the debtor class ; which armed the father with the power of life and 
death over his children, so that he could expose them when infants, or im- 
prison, scourge, chain them to rustic labor, or even sell them, although 
they might be of full age, or in the enjoyment of high state offices ; a law 
which put the wife completely in the power of her husband, and reduced 
her to the condition of a slave; a laAv which, while it conferred many 
important pubhc privileges, and abounded in just and reasonable rules in 
relation to property, was utterly destitute of any recognition of the rights 
of man as man, and never rose to the conception of popular self-govern- 
ment. It is true, that in time vast bodies of men of barbaric origin were 
admitted within the sacred pale of Roman citizenship, but this was due, not 
so much to a sense of justice, as to the political necessity of recruiting the 
wasted energies of the empire, or of conciliating dangerous foes. Not un- 
til Christianity, co-operating with Germanic usages, tempered the severity of 
the ancient code, did an improved condition of affairs exist. 

The ancients also made certain attempts at associated political con- 
federacies, such as the Amphyctionic Council, and the Achaian League, 
but they were unable to resist the disintegrating tendencies of mutual jeal- 
ousies, of foreign intrigue, and the folly and rashness of their own 

39 



officers. Such were the lessons of the far distant past, which were present to 
the thoughts and deliberations of the fathers of our Republic, not as lights 
to guide, but as beacons to warn them of the dangers of their way. Here 
was Scylla, there was Charybdis, and yonder were the rocks of Acroce- 
raunia. 

Another and a far more important part of the mental equipment of the 
fathers consisted of the lessons taught by the great writers of another race, 
whose remote ancestors were strangers to the arts of Greece, or the refine- 
ments of Italy. They had never walked in the groves of the Academy, or 
viewed the splendors of the Forum ; they could never have fashioned the 
Venus of Milo, or built the Coliseum ; they had no enraptured visions of 
liberty, and did not engage in philosophical discussions upon principles of 
public law, but yet, wild, uncouth, barbaric, to them liberty, equality and 
fraternity were not theories, but accompHshed facts. They owned their 
own soU ; they dwelt in their own houses ; they held their women in high 
esteem ; they chose their chieftains by untrammelled votes. They pushed 
their prows through the foam of angry seas, and caught from their con- 
flicts with the elements a spirit of self-reliance, as tough as the fibres of 
the storm-twisted oak. They were brothers of Eric the Red, and Rollo the 
Rover. 

They smote the tottering power of Rome, drove back the Picts 
and Danes, established themselves in England, and, after centuries of slow 
development, mixed with a strain of Norman blood, produced the man, — 
Stephen De Langton, perhaps, — who wrote the twenty-ninth chapter of 
" Magna Charta." Four hundred years of mighty political gestation fol- 
lowed, and John Locke was born. He wrote : " The original compact, 
which begins and actually constitutes any political society, is nothing but 
the consent of any number of freemen capable of a majority to unite and 
incorporate into such a society. And this is that, and that only, which 
could give beginning to any lawful government in the world." From this 
maxim he deduces the inalienable right of mankind to be self-governed, 
that is : to be their own legislators and their own directors, or to appoint 
representatives who may exercise a delegated sovereignty essentially in the 
people at large. Thence results the right to fair representation, and from 

40 



this follows, by necessary consequence, the right of universal suffrage, uni- 
versal eligibility, and the just right of the majority to rule. The new sys- 
tem had had its prophets, — men, who, in moments of inspiration, had 
caught ghmpses of the State that was to be. More had written his " Uto- 
pia," and Harrington his " Oceana." Bacon had published his " New 
Atlantis," and Campanella had composed his " City of the Sun." It had 
its antagonists. Hobbes had summed up in the " Leviathan " an argument 
in favor of royal authority entirely free from popular control, and was fol- 
lowed by Sir Richard Filmer, in his " Patriarcha, or the Natural Power 
of Kings," basing his views on the doctrines of Aristotle, while Hooker 
defended the " Church Establishment." It had its martyrs : Sidney and 
Eussell had perished on the scaffold. In John Locke it found its phi- 
losopher and oracle, and Molyneux, Price and Priestley became his dis- 
ciples. It had its practical statesmen, too, — John Hampden and Sir Henry 
Vane, — and among these none is entitled to higher rank, as a writer upon 
government, or as the successful founder of a commonwealth, than William 
Penn. 

The discussion reached the realm of France. A brilliant light arose 
above the horizon in the person of Baron Montesquieu, who published 
*' The Spirit of Laws ;" Rousseau discoursed upon " The Origin of In- 
equahty among Mankind," while Voltaire attacked with bitterness existing 
institutions. 

The foregoing is an imperfect summary of the intellectual influences 
which were brought to bear upon the men who formed our Constitution. 
If time permitted, I would work out my proofs, but I must content myself 
by referring you to the speeches, pamphlets and essays which appeared 
from 1750 to 1787. 

Let me now direct your attention to forces which may be termed eth- 
nological. The American people is not aboriginal. It is of European 
origin, chiefly British, and, notwithstanding the extent of foreign immigra- 
tion, still remains so. It was a happy circumstance, as a recent writer has 
remarked, that America, in the beginning, fell into the hands of the colo- 
nizing British, — a race, with special fitness for colonization, of vigor and 
enterprise, and a capacity for self-government. The personal experiences 

41 



of the early colonists, the revolutions in which they had engaged, the per- 
secutions they had endured, the trials and exile they had suflfered, fitted 
them in an extraordinary manner for expatriation and the building up of 
a new and mighty nation beyond the sea. The Puritans of New England 
had, among their leaders, men who had figured with the regicides. They 
were familiar with the doctrines of personal liberty formally drawn up and 
stated by Sir Edward Coke, in the " Petition of Eight." In the cabin of 
the Mayflower they had entered into a solemn written covenant to combine 
themselves into a civil body-politic, and by virtue thereof to enact, consti- 
tute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitu- 
tions, and offices, from time to time, as should be thought most meet and 
convenient for the general good, to which they promised all due submission 
and obedience. 

And in Connecticut, with a grim sense of self-reliance, they had 
resolved to be governed by the laws of God, until they had time ta 
make better ones. They brought with them the principles of English 
law, the decisions of English courts as to search-warrants, the quartering 
of troops, taxation and representation, the liberty of the press and trial by 
jury, the selection of magistrates and judges. " They brought these max- 
ims of civil Kberty, not in their libraries, but in their souls ; not as philo- 
sophical prattle, not as barren generalities, but as rules of conduct ; as a 
symbol of public duty and private right, to be adhered to with religious 
fidehty ; and the very first pilgrim, that set his foot upon Plymouth rock, 
stepped forth a living constitution, armed at all points to defend and per- 
petuate the liberty, to which he had devoted his whole being." 

In Pennsylvania, the foundations of the commonwealth had been built, 
not on the imaginary basis of a social compact drawn from metaphysical 
sources, but upon an introspection of the soul and an assertion of the rights 
of conscience. In Maryland, the Catholics had proclaimed the freest 
religious toleration. 

In Virginia, the high and adventurous spirit of the Cavaliers made 
them but restive subjects of the yoke of tyranny, while, in North Carolina, 
the descendants of the followers of Kaleigh partook of the elevation of 
mind of their illustrious leader. 

42 



With this great stream of English blood were mingled two small, but 
noble tributaries. The Dutch, who settled in New York, were the sons of 
those who, from the walls of starving Leyden, had proclaimed to the fero- 
cious Spaniard that they would feed on their left arms, and preserve their 
right to defend their homes from degradation, their shrines from pollution, 
and their liberties from destruction. In South Carolina, the men who dwelt 
upon the banks of the Cooper and Ashley, were those who had fled from 
the terrors which desolated Ffance, after the revocation of the Edict of 
Nantes. 

The blood of England, Holland, and France, wrung drop by drop by 
the agony of three frightful persecutions, was thus mingled by the cunning 
alchemy of human destiny in the alembic of America, to be distilled by 
the fires of our Revolution into the most precious elixir of the ages. 

Consider, now, the physical environment of the colonists ! Thi-ee 
thousand miles of ocean, unconquered by steam, on the one hand ; three 
thousand miles of unbroken forest, on the other ; the intervening coast-line 
broken nto fragments by broad rivers, expansive bays, and desolate 
swamps. Fancy the eflTect of two hundred years of a solitude, such as this, 
upon the mind of the stern pilgrim in the North, or the edict of Nantes 
men in the South ! Would it not detach him from the old land ? Would 
he not learn to love the new ? The Tower, the Bastile, the stake, the rack, 
— all left behind ; liberty, justice, and God, — his companions in the wilder- 
ness. When he led his bride to the altar, and established a home ; when 
children multiplied about him, — sons of strength, and daughters of beauty ; 
when he laid some loved one in the grave ; when the tenderest affections 
and associations had commingled, would not the very fibres of his being 
strike their deep roots, and in his heart spring up the mighty sentiment of 
patriotism ? Would he not exclaim : " This is my land ! I love its noble 
hills, its fertile valleys, and its sparkling streams ; the air I breathe has 
never been tainted by the scent of human sacrifice ; the ground I tread is 
unburdened with the weight of a feudal prison ; the murmur of the sea, 
the voices of the forest, the eagle mounting to the clouds, remind me that 
I am free." As the years rolled by, and acres of golden grain rewarded 
his personal toil ; as houses built by his own hands became a part of his 

43 



wealth; as plans of public improvement projected by himself and neigh- 
bors contributed to his comfort and safety ; as laws, to which he was a 
party, appeared upon the statute-book ; as magistrates, chosen by himself, 
gave force and expression to the public will, would he not feel himself to 
be an active agent in the work of State building, — a most important fac- 
tor in the problem of popular self-government ? Would he deem it a 
strange extravagance of thought or speech, if told that " all men are 
created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalien- 
able rights ; that, among those, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi- 
ness ; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, 
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed " ? As he 
gazed upon the majestic scenery which met his eye in a boundless domain ; 
as he travelled over vast territories separated by no foreign Hues or divided 
allegiances ; as he encountered no clanships, race-prejudices, or enormities ; 
as his intellect expanded, and his moral sympathies broadened, would he 
not respond, with a passionate thrill of exultation, to the proud cry of the 
orator : " I am no longer a Virginian ; I am an American ?" And when 
his ancient enemy attempted to wrest from him his hard won rights, to op- 
press his commerce, to tax him without consent, to coerce obedience at the 
point of the bayonet, would he not spring to arms, and imperil life, liberty, 
and honor, rather than submit to the condition of a slave ? 

Such, it seems to me, is a simple analysis of the feelings which 
prompted our fathers to resistance. The idea of complete and perfect 
union was, however, a matter of gradual growth. The separate establish- 
ments of the colonies, and the jealous fears of each other which prevailed, 
yielded but slowly to the pressure of outside forces, and the necessity for a 
united defence. The earliest effort at combination was that of 1643, known 
as the New England Confederation, prompted by the need of protection 
against the Dutch and Indians. It embraced the four colonies of Massa- 
chusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut, and New Haven. Frothingham 
says : " A good principle was at the bottom of the confederation ; but, 
noble as were the aims of those who handled it, they had not yet attained 
to sufficient breadth of view to apply it even to the whole of New England." 

In 1697 William Penn presented to the Board of Trade a plan for 

44 



the union of the colonies, providing for a Congress of Deputies, who should 
meet at least once a year in time of war, or once in two years in time of 
peace, to debate and resolve upon matters touching the public tranquillity 
and safety. In the same year the Lords of Trade suggested the appoint- 
ment of a captain-general over all the colonies, with power to call on the 
militia of the different provinces, and take command of them when out of 
their own territory. In 1698 D'Avenant opposed the plan of Penu, and 
submitted one of his own. In 1701 a criticism of both plans appeared by 
a Virginian. In the same year Robert Livingston, of New York, suggested 
two military sections, and in the same year the Earl of Stair devised a plan 
referred to by Bancroft. In 1721 David Coxe, a citizen of Philadelphia, 
proposed, with remarkable fulness, a scheme for resisting the dangers of 
French encroachment, and a possible invasion of the colonies. This was 
followed, in the same year, by a new plan of the Lords of Trade, alluded 
to in Keith's "Miscellanies," and by one of Archibald Kennedy in 1751. 
In 1754 Benjamin Franklin presented to the commissioners from seven 
colonies, who met at Albany, his celebrated plan of union, " which was re- 
jected," it has been said, " in America, because it had too much of the 
prerogative, and in England, because it was too democratic." Once again 
the Lords of Trade took up the subject, followed by Thomas Hutchison ; 
and Dr. Samuel Johnson, the president of King's, now Columbia, College, 
in writing out his thoughts for the Archbishop of Canterbury, pleaded for 
a bishop, which meant the union of the Church. In 1765 the New York 
Congress, " The Day-Star of the American Union," proclaimed the Decla- 
ration of Rights, of which Judge Story has observed that it contained " the 
best general summary of the rights and liberties asserted by all the colo- 
nies," in which the ground was finally taken that American liberties were 
founded on natural rights, and not on royal charters. Then came the 
Declaration of Rights and No n- Importation Agreement, signed by the 
First Continental Congress which met in the Hall of the Carpenter's Com- 
pany, in Philadelphia, 1774, — "that memorable league," as John Adams 
styled it, " which first expressed the sovereign will of a free nation in 
America." Then followed in quick succession the immortal Declaration of 
Independence, of July, 1776, and the Articles of Confederation, reported 

45 



in 1777, but not ratified until 1781, The defects of these articles led to 
the Annapolis Convention, and finally to the Federal Congress which 
framed the Constitution of the United States. 

Thus, stone by stone, was the nation built, — American citizenship was 
now complete. The world had never seen political architects of such con- 
summate genius or such varied experience. The framers of the Constitution, 
inspired by the lofty traditions of their race, admonished by the lessons of 
of the past, inheriting a remarkable aptitude for the intelligent consideration 
of pubHc questions, personally trained in the work of Constitution-making, 
and possessing extraordinary intellectual qualities which had been devel- . 
oped by active participation in the scenes of the Revolution, and by long 
service as members of the Continental Congress, found themselves driven 
by the dangerous condition of public affairs, and the impotency and failure 
of the existing government, to the rejection of every plan which failed to 
lodge in the hands of a national government powers of loftier dignity, of 
broader scope and more penetrating character, than those enjoyed by the 
States. The convention was composed of statesmen, soldiers, and citizens. 
Some of them were old men, who had no earthly interest except the wel- 
fare of the coming generations. Many were middle-aged, — and their work 
embodies their ripest experience and soundest judgment. Some of them 
were young, and staked their hopes of the future upon the result. They 
did not build after the models of Achaian Leagues, nor of the Italian Re- 
publics, nor of Swiss Cantons, nor of the Dutch Commonwealth, nor even of 
English Constitutional Monarchy, but after a style of architecture, all 
their own. Inspired by faith in the Great Giver of All Good, and upheld 
by an unfaltering trust in man, his powers, his capacities, his rights, his 
duties, and his immortal destiny, they laid the deep foundation and reared 
the swelling dome of the people's government which, surviving the shock 
of foreign war, and civil strife, and furious debate, has emerged from every 
storm stronger, purer, sanctified. 

The throne of the Stagirite was overturned. The Greek theory was 
reversed. The citizen did not exist for the advantage of the State, but the 
government was ordained and established for the benefit of the citizen ; to 
protect him in his natural rights, and to guard him against tyranny and 

,46 



usurpation. The objects of the Constitution were two-fold : The first was 
to provide against the terrors of anarchy, bankruptcy, and civil paralysis, 
which had resulted from the want of a civil government capable of regu- 
lating the afiairs of a vast empire ; to substitute for the conflicting, discord- 
ant, and rebellious bills of petty States, an harmonious, uniform, consistent, 
and powerful force which, by the regulation of internal commerce and the 
promotion of foreign relations, would produce tranquillity at home, and in- 
spire respect abroad ; in other words, to convert a league of States into a 
Nation, bound together, not by loose wisps of straw, but by the elastic steel 
bands of national interests. The second object of the Constitution was to 
guard the rights of the States and of individuals against oppression on the 
part of the National Government, or of the Governments of the States. The 
first is accomphshed by the Constitution itself; the second is provided for 
by the amendments. The plan, as is well known, was the result of a happy 
■compromise between the conflicting views of those who advocated the 
adoption of a consoHdated government, and those who dreaded the dan- 
ger of obliterating the autonomies of the States. 

The Preamble states the purposes of the Union, and bases it upon the 
authority of The People of the United States. Then follows, in orderly 
succession, the distribution of power between the Legislative, Executive, 
and Judicial Departments, embraced in six articles, subdivided into sec- 
tions. The first article treats of the legislative powers, and, after vesting 
all such in a Congress, consisting of a Senate and House of Representa- 
tives, and prescribing the composition and organization of each, with their 
respective powers, proceeds, in Section 8, to mention in detail certain ex- 
press powers, all carefully enumerated, all of them national in their scope, 
and absolute and exclusive in character, and then wisely adds, in the last 
clause thereof: " And to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper 
for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers 
vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in 
any department or oflicer thereof." This clause, the source of expansive 
power, though much criticised, has enabled the government to grow and 
protect itself, as occasion required. The ninth section contains provisions 
as to the slave trade, the habeas corpus, ex post facto laws, direct taxes, 

47 



State exports, port duties, receipts and expenditures, titles of nobility, and 
the receipt of presents. The tenth section contains limitations upon the 
powers of the States. The second article relates to the executive, and, after 
providing for the term of office, the mode and time of election, the qualifi- 
cations of the president, the supplying of vacancies, and the compensation 
and oath of office, proceeds to define executive powers and duties, espe- 
cially the treaty-making and appointing power, and guards all by the right 
of impeachment. The third relates to the judiciary ; provides for the ab- 
solute independence of the bench, defines its powers, the jurisdiction of the 
Supreme Court, and regulates the trial of crimes. It is the crowning glory 
of the Constitution to have established a power to confine the other depart- 
ments of the government within their proper limits, and thus prevent usur- 
pation, encroachment, and abuse. The fourth article relates to State re- 
cords and judicial proceedings; protects the privileges of citizens ; provides 
for the admission of new States ; regulates the government of Territories ; 
and, finally, guarantees to each State a republican form of government, and 
protection against invasion and domestic violence. The fifth article pro- 
vides for amendments to the Constitution, — a salutary power neglected in 
the old Articles of Confederation. The sixth article provided for the dis- 
charge of debts, and declared the Constitution, the laws of the United 
States made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made under the authority 
of the United States, to be the supreme law of the land. It also pre- 
scribed oaths of office, and prohibited forever a religious test. By the 
first eight amendments a BiU of Eights was virtually proclaimed, and cer- 
tain limitations were imposed upon Congressional power. They secured 
freedom of religion, of speech, of the press, and of the right to bear arms ; 
forbade the quartering of troops, protected the persons and homes of citi- 
zens agaiQst searches, seizures, and warrants; provided for the trial of 
crimes, the rights of defendants in criminal cases, forbade excessive bails 
and fines, and cruel and unusual punishments. The ninth provided that 
the enumeration of certain rights should not be construed to deny or dis- 
parage others retained by the people. The tenth declared that the powers 
not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by 
it to the States, were reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. 

48 



The eleventli imposed a restriction upon the judicial power. The twelfth 
related to the election of President and Vice-President. The thirteenth 
abolished slavery. The fourteenth defined the rights of citizenship, while 
the fifteenth guarded the elective franchise. 

Such is the Constitution of the United States. Unique in origin ; 
without a prototype in design ; of enduring strength, and of phenomenal 
success in the history of political philosophy, it stands alone. Tested by 
danger and adversity, as well as by peace and prosperity ; endeared to us 
by tradition, and hallowed by experience, it has become the object of our 
reverential and affectionate regard. To it no American mind can be too 
attentive, and no American heart too devoted. Amazing in its grants of 
authority, ingenious and perfect in its system of checks and balances, it 
has deprived the States of no essential power ; it has left unharmed the 
sacred right of local self-government. The American citizen occupies 
a position which perplexes the brains of foreigners, and sometimes per- 
plexes him. He owes a triple allegiance. His first and highest duty is to 
the nation, his second to his State, his third to the mimicipality in which he 
dwells. If he be a clear thinker, he can suffer from no embarrassment. 
The spheres of each relation are distinct and separate, and well defined. 
It is doubtful whether, in any true sense, the functions of the two latter 
are political. They are rather matters of business. They involve no con- 
siderations of national policy or of foreign relations. They affect simply 
the honest collection and honest expenditure of public revenues upon 
objects of local concern. If the attempt be made to crib, cabin, or con- 
fine the actions of a citizen in the two latter capacities by his duties, and 
the requirements of his intellect and conscience in regard to the former, he 
is at once loaded with heavy fetters, and becomes the slave of his creed on 
national issues, rather than a man free and independent in thought and 
action upon purely local affairs. It has become the curse of the govern- 
ment of our great cities — which are our political plague spots — that the 
election of a Mayor or Sheriff* is made to turn rather on questions of 
national policy than on the honesty, capacity, and intelligence of the can- 
didate. This is an evil which must be corrected, and we look forward to 
the day when there shall be a complete and final divorce of municipal 

(4) 49 



affairs from national politics. Under our present mixed system, we have 
grown to greatness ; but we should not be blinded by our dazzling success 
to the dangers which beset our way. The marvellous material prosperity 
which has crowned our efforts for one hundred years — a tale which fills 
with wonder and amazement all those who read it — should not induce us 
to forget that there is a moral aspect to the question of far higher value 
than the development of industries, the building of railroads, or the open- 
ing of mines. We should never consent to a degradation of our standards 
of public virtue or private purity of character ; nor should we lie in 
supine indifference while our moral strength is being sapped. The power 
of money to corrupt, or of the partisan spoilsmen to destroy, should be 
resolutely met. 

The liberties our fathers won, we hold in trust for all mankind. 
Every hope of posterity is staked upon the wisdom, the energy, the courage, 
the purity of the present hour. We deeply sympathize with every move- 
ment of the masses — they have citizenship and the ballot, and equal 
rights before the law. They need education and protection against the 
power of monopolies, and these they must and shall receive. But there 
must be no riots in the streets, no disorder or revolution, no cannon loaded 
to the muzzle ; they must be taught that there is no war between capital 
and labor ; that they are partners, not enemies, and that their true in- 
terests, on any just basis, are identical. And capital must be educated, 
too. It must be humanized and softened. To this end it is lawful to 
print, to agitate, to discuss, to argue, to plead, to persuade, or to combine ; 
but let all remember that the moment they unfurl the red flag, or plant the 
dagger, or apply the torch, or throw explosive bombs, or scatter broadcast 
from the press the frantic ravings of delirious fanatics, inciting to riot, dis- 
order, bloodshed, and anarchy, the moment they conspire to shake the 
foundations of society, to strip men of vested rights, to intimidate, to 
threaten, to thwart freedom of action and will, to stop the wheels of in- 
dustry, to induce men to violate contracts, and seek to accomplish their 
ends by violence and outrage, that moment they become the enemies of 
American liberty ; they are conspirators against the laws of the laud ; 
they are social outlaws and foes of order, and we warn them that " God's 

50 



i 



lightuings are hot." Let them remember that liberty is not license ; that 
communism is not social equality; that Nihilism is not Constitutional 
order; that hatred of the race and war against mankind are not the 
corner-stones of this Republic. Let them be warned that the spirit of 
America, when once awake, will drive back to the lurid dens of Europe all 
spirits of evil and devils of destruction ; that barriers can and will be 
erected against the ooze of foreign swamps, by which our pure fountains 
have been defiled. Who can estimate the influence of our Republic? 
What tongue can fitly tell of the benefits of her example ? What gift of 
prophecy can forecast the limits of her mission ? There is not a civilized 
government on the face of the earth that has not been liberalized by her 
teachings. France rose in her wrath and overturned the dynasty of St. 
Louis. Greece struggled in her chains, and then snapped them asunder. 
Italy, after centuries of mis-government, now boasts of a ruler of her own 
choice. Russia has emancipated her serfs ; while Germany, though in the 
grasp of a man of blood and iron, foresees the day when Imperialism 
shall be no more. The mission of America will never cease, until all 
nations have learned the lesson of self-government, with its fruits of noble 
manhood, of high and indomitable courage, until the gospel of freedom 
has spread from pole to pole, from continent to continent, from the plains 
of Siberia to the islands of the sea, when all people, from Sclavic peasants, 
and turbaned Turks, to the children of the Sun, shall join in the swelling 
chorus, and the darkest corners of the earth shall be illuminated by the 
hjaven-born light of civil and religious liberty. 

Gentlemen of the Philomathean Society, within a year or two at the 
most you will be called upon to assume the responsibilities, and discharge 
the duties of American citizenship. The issues of the future will be in a 
measure in your hands. You can have no nobler motto than that of our 
beloved society. Wherever you may be, do not fail to act upon the words 
.of Apollo to the young Ascanius — Sic itur ad astra.

REPORT 



Rosetta Stone Committee, 



HENRY MORTON, Ph. D., 

President Stevens' Inst, of Technology. 



The Rosetta Stone Report 



By Henry Morton, Ph. T>., 
president of stevens' institute of technology, 



Although the present writer had a good deal to do with the so-called 
Rosetta Stone Report, he is free to admit that it owed its inception and 
publication to the energy and persistence of his co-laborator, the Rev. 
Charles R. Hale, now Dean of Davenport Cathedral, Iowa. 

About the close of the college year of 1855-56 Mr. Thomas K. Con- 
rad, then a member of the graduating class, and now the Rev. Dr. Conrad, 
Rector of St. Paul's, Philadelphia, presented to the Philomathean Society 
a plaster-cast of the famous Rosetta Stone, at the same time reading an 
essay on "Hieroglyphic Research." 

About this time Mr. Charles R. Hale joined the class of 1858, then 
in its sophomore year, and also became a member of the Philomathean 
Society. 

His attention and interest were excited by this model of the Rosetta 
Stone, and asking many questions about it which no one was able to 
answer, he caused others to feel that the subject ought to be investigated, 
and accordingly a committee was appointed, with Mr. Hale for Chairman, 
and instructed to investigate and report upon the Rosetta Stone. The 
other members of this committee were S. Huntington Jones and the present 
writer. The latter had already taken some interest in the subject of hiero- 
glyphics, and when, after a preliminary report by Mr. Hale, the subject 
grew in importance in the estimation of the committee, he offered to do 
some serious work on the interpretation of the hieroglyphic text, and also 
to illustrate and illuminate the manuscript of the completed report. 

55 



The interest grew as the work proceeded, and, without any definitely 
pre-arranged plan as to division of labor, it arranged itself finally, as fol- 
lows : Mr. Hale took in hand the Greek and Demotic texts of the tri- 
lingual inscription, and gave valuable assistance in translating the hiero- 
glyphic text ; Mr. Jones contributed an historic essay on the " Egyptian 
king, Ptolemy Epiphanes," in whose honor the inscriptions were originally 
made, and the present writer took charge of the hieroglyphic text, and of 
the pictorial decoration of the work. 

The work progressed slowly, as it involved much study of books not 
readily accessible, and both the present writer and Mr. Hale spent many 
days of more than one vacation in the Astor Library in New York, as well 
as in the Philadelphia Library, where only certain extensive works on 
" Egyptology," and on " Hieroglyphics," were to be seen. Among these 
one of the most important was that of " Lepsius," which contained a com- 
plete drawing of an inscription on a temple- wall at Philse, which proved to 
be another copy of the inscription covering the Rosetta Stone. This Philse 
inscription was, in great part, effaced, but a careful collation of what re- 
mained of it (made for the first time by this committee) enabled them to 
throw a new light on many otherwise doubtful passages of the Rosetta 
Stone text. 

For the various reasons indicated, it was not until the summer of 1857 
that the manuscript report of the Rosetta Stone Committee was finished, 
bound, and deposited in the library of the Philomathean Society. 

Almost immediately, however, it mysteriously disappeared, and for sev- 
eral months it was supposed to be lost. When, at last it was found and re- 
placed in the library, the circumstance of its temporary loss impressed some 
members of the desirabihty of reproducing, by some mode of printing, a 
volume representing so much labor. 

The reproduction of the Hieroglyphic and Demotic texts, and of the 
colored illustrations and illuminations, could only be accomplished by 
chromo-lithography, and the expense of preparing the necessary and nu- 
merous drawings on stone, if a professional artist were employed, was pro- 
hibitory under the existing conditions. The present writer, at that time, 
knew absolutely nothing about drawing on stone, but with the happy 

56 



temerity of youth, and inexperience, he felt that nothing possible to man 
ought to trouble a graduate of the Univei'sity of Pennsylvania, and of the 
Philomathean Society, and he, therefore, undertook, quite as a matter of 
course, to make all the required drawings on the stone. 

In this task he spent the entire summer and autumn of 1858, and 
during the same time Mr. Hale worked with unwearied diligence in per- 
fecting and enlarging the various parts of the work which came under his 
hands. Shortly before Christmas, 1858, the first edition of this report made 
its appearance, and was so highly appreciated by the public that in a few 
days the entire edition was exhausted, and many times the original price 
of copies was offered by those anxious to secure them. 

Under these conditions the Philomathean Society, who had found 
this committee so ready to execute its directions, at its meeting held Janu- 
ary 21st, 1859, expressed the desire that this committee should prepare a 
second edition of their report. This request involved more than might at 
first sight appear. 

To produce each one of the colored designs of the report, an average 
of four lithographic stones was required, and these, with the non-illumi- 
nated pages of Hieroglyphic and Demotic, made a total of several hun" 
dred stones. No lithographic establishment had such a stock of the same 
size, or could afford to keep them for our use ; therefore, when the first 
part of the report had been struck ofi", the stones were ground down to a 
new surface, and used for a new set of pages. Thus, when the Society de- 
sired its Committee to print a new edition, only the stones used in the pre- 
paration of the last twenty pages or so retained any designs, and thus the 
printing of a new edition involved the production on stone of more than a 
hundred drawings. 

Encouraged and inspired by the already realized success, the present 
writer willingly undertook this work, and, profiting by experience, made 
entirely new designs for all the pages it was necessary to reproduce. Thus 
the second edition was in its artistic portion largely a new work. 

This second edition came out in the spring of 1859, and, like its pre- 
decessor, was not very long in being exhausted ; so that for over twenty 
years the Rosetta Stone Report has been numbered among the " scarce " 

57 



publications only to be obtained from antiquarian book dealers, and at the 
sales of libraries. 

Among the many kind letters which members of the Committee re- 
ceived from various sources, none were more gratifying than one written 
by Baron von Humboldt, March 12th, 1859, in which he says, after ac- 
knowledging the receipt of a copy of the Eeport : " The scientific analysis 
of the celebrated inscription of Rosetta, which, despite the confusion of 
the hieroglyphic style, remains an historic monument of great importance, 
has appeared to me especially worthy of praise, since it offers the first essay 
at independent investigation ofiered by the litterateur of the New Conti- 
nent. It is for this national reason that I especially greet this independent 
work." Speaking further of "the so conscientious work of the learned 
Committee of the Philomathean Society," he goes on to say : " The pic- 
turesque ornaments added by Mr. Henry Morton add to the interest in- 
spired by a work well worthy to be widely spread in your learned and free 
country. I pray Mr. Charles R. Hale to receive with kindness the homage 
of my sentiments of high and affectionate consideration." 

In view of the rarity of the Rosetta Stone Report, it may be well to 
say here that the Rosetta Stone is a slab of granite bearing three inscrip- 
tions, one in Hieroglyphics, or the language of the Priests, one in Demotic, 
or the language of the people, used in common life and for commercial 
transactions in ancient Egypt, and one in Greek. This slab was found 
near the town of Rosetta," on one of the mouths of the Nile, hence its name. 
In substance, it is a set of resolutions or vote of thanks passed by the 
Priests, assembled on some occasion at Memphis about 200 B. C, in honor 
of Ptolemy Epiphanes. It recites the virtues of this king, some of the 
events of his reign, and decrees divine honors to him and his parents. 
Finally it provides for its own publication, as is usual nowadays, by order- 
ing that copies shall be set up in all the temples of Egjrpt. The slab or 
tablet is about 3 feet high, 2 feet 5 inches wide, and from 6 to 12 inches 
thick, being very irregular at the back. On its face are engraved 14 lines 
of Hieroglyphic text, 32 lines of Demotic text, and 52 lines of Greek 
text, each expressing in its own way the same subject matter. The original 
stone is preserved in the British Museum.
